Places where you should not place a scratching post.

Places where you should not place a scratching post.

Inappropriate places for the “accessory.”

If you have a cat, it means you should have a scratching post. It’s understandable if you don’t want your furry companion to use the carpet or soft furniture for their needs.

However, it’s important to consider that placing the useful device in random locations is not advisable.

For example, an area near the television is definitely not a good idea, as well as near any other expensive electronic devices.

The thing is, the cat, accidentally or intentionally, may scratch the device, and you will have to either go to a TV repair service or buy a new electronic item.

Moreover, it’s not recommended to place the scratching post in the kitchen.

This prohibition is due to the fact that there’s always something happening in the food area, and the cat won’t dedicate time to the routine procedure, preferring to engage in more exciting activities.

And it’s pointless to place the scratching post next to their water or food bowl.

Finally, try not to place the scratching post near your bed. Trust me, it’s in your best interest unless you want to occasionally wake up at night and get up in the morning before the alarm clock rings.
